Despite their apparent break up, Jane’s Addiction have just announced a new merch line with Supreme. You can see the items they have to offer HERE.

Supreme commented:

“American rock band Jane’s Addiction is credited with kickstarting the mainstream alternative rock era that came to define the 1990s.

Jane’s Addiction was formed by Perry Farrell and Eric Avery in Los Angeles in 1985. After unsuccessful starts with multiple guitarists and drummers, Jane’s Addiction crystalized when Avery’s sister suggested her then-boyfriend, 18-year-old drummer Stephen Perkins. Perkins in turn recruited his former marching band-mate, guitarist Dave Navarro. The band came up through the city’s underground club scene, regularly headlining at the Scream.

At the height of the hair metal craze, Jane’s Addiction forged a hybrid sound that drew from disparate rhythmic influences – metal, goth, funk, folk, punk, heady psych rock, tribal drumming. Lyrically, Farrell crafted stories of L.A.’s gritty underbelly, shot through with his own spiritual musings.

In 1987, Jane’s Addiction debuted with a self-titled live recording from the Roxy – they released it independently, but had already inked a lucrative deal with Warner Bros. after a high-profile bidding war. That initial studio album, Nothing’s Shocking, arrived in 1988, and has since been heralded as the first truly mainstream alternative rock album. Ritual de lo Habitual, the band’s 1990 follow-up, is considered its creative and commercial breakthrough. With “Stop” and “Been Caught Stealing,” Jane’s Addiction shepherded the underground to the charts.

Supreme has worked with Jane’s Addiction on a new collection for Fall 2024. The collection consists of a Mechanics Jacket, Cardigan, S/S Shirt, Hooded Sweatshirt, Ringer Tee and two T-Shirts.
